2000 Ford Escort ZX2 review from North America
"What was I thinking?!!!?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car cannot stay straight, it either drifts to the left or the right depending how the tires are positioned, which means I cannot have them rotated.
My anti-lock brakes give out if I hit a bump in the road while braking.
The noise level is horrible, but I knew that when I purchased the car. When I accelerate after being at a complete stop there's a loud thumping sound that comes from my empty trunk.
What really gets me though is that the windshield wipers don't even work!
General comments?
This car is horrible, I would never recommend this car to anyone I know. I discourage people from buying Ford products. Unfortunately, I have learned that Ford do not stand by their products.
